Intended Use

ReFIX Biodegradable Pins are intended for use in the fixation and/or alignment of osteotomies and arthrodeses; and fixation and/or alignment of fragments of fractured non-load bearing bones, osteochondral fragments and cancellous/non-load bearing fragments. For example, ReFIX pins are intended for use in the following procedures: - fixation of phalangeal fusion and fracture . - repair of metacarpal fusion and fracture . - fixation of hand and wrist fractures . - fixation of metatarsal osteotomies . - correction of hallux valgus .

Device Story

ReFIX Internal Fixation Pins are biodegradable orthopedic implants; manufactured from PLLA and PLGA polymers. Pins are available in diameters of 2.0mm, 2.7mm, 3.5mm, and 4.5mm with a length of 70mm. Used by orthopedic surgeons for internal fixation of non-load bearing bone fractures, osteotomies, and arthrodeses. Pins provide mechanical stabilization of bone fragments during healing; material degrades over time, eliminating need for secondary removal surgery. Device is intended for prescription use only.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only.

Technological Characteristics

Biodegradable internal fixation pins; materials: PLLA (poly-L-lactic acid) and PLGA (poly-lactic-co-glycolic acid); diameters: 2.0mm, 2.7mm, 3.5mm, 4.5mm; length: 70mm; non-metallic; sterile.

Indications for Use

Indicated for fixation/alignment of osteotomies, arthrodeses, and fragments of fractured non-load bearing bones, osteochondral fragments, and cancellous/non-load bearing fragments in hand, wrist, and foot procedures (e.g., phalangeal/metacarpal fusion/fracture, metatarsal osteotomies, hallux valgus correction).

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A smooth or threaded metallic bone fixation fastener is a device intended to be implanted that consists of a stiff wire segment or rod made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum and stainless steel, and that may be smooth on the outside, fully or partially threaded, straight or U-shaped; and may be either blunt pointed, sharp pointed, or have a formed, slotted head on the end. It may be used for fixation of bone fractures, for bone reconstructions, as a guide pin for insertion of other implants, or it may be implanted through the skin so that a pulling force (traction) may be applied to the skeletal system.
